opae-bro.esd n n tho e pr~ , on this
oessio, and no mocner had use Cp'
maued away on the story of Larkin and
his ntal passion when the lubber chipped
in with:
kl._. cap'n, who waN this -ma Ls
"s.hipmante of mine; foremasband in
ith United States steamship Wachsetn
of the Paeid s quadrondurip the maise
of uMr amseng the South Slaaods,
where he ofered himself a sarifice at the
shrine off his love-a web ooted female
cannibal without any clotahes to seak ,
rseplied ths cap'n, as he aught hs breath
fr another start.
"Larkin warn all right," he continued,
"uatl we struck the Samoan Islands
where he met ay Cheese. That wasn't
her name, utM we alled her Mary Cheese
Ju to tease Larkis.
"We anchored in Apli, the prineipal
island In the Samoan group, early In May
uAn. About a week later we pulled up
our ud-ook and sailed fr Pog Page,
sixty miles distant with the uslan con
sul on hoed. Page is a sert oa ring-worm
island rising several hundred feet above
water and elosing a circular basin or
srbatr about one mble in extent. The only
entrance to the harbor is a narrow open
sto the westward, through which the
hip war. steered ha ntive pilot. On t
north ,ýore of tsh the government
had dumped a huge pile of coal for the
use of her hiWp in those waters. We were
there for coal and remained four dae
illing the b.nkers. It was in this
turesque spot that larkins fell In love.'
"At that tiMne he was a mess-cook down
on the lower deck, where he prepared the
daily soreech of his mnessnates. Think of
It will you? Those low, vulgar sailors
called nie, clean Ngrub screech. It makes
me sick to think of It," and the captain
shudered at the are recollecstion
"W nthe feows g.ot through scown
their screech Larkins would jam himself
Into the dd tover his nemand make
love to Mary who warn
"What's t meantng of ecorng in
your lau g?" asked the lubbaer, who
couldn't ln any longer.
"Why, eating, of course," saId the esp'n
In a tomae of disgust at the eidenc d such
blighting ignorance the pt o the lub
e. "I thought evercod knew that;
didn't yomates T" os ontinued, ap
uat," saId the sailor nla concert.
And the thick-kulled lubber retired within
Mhimf.
"No one was allowed ashore but thbe f.
lows who were shoveling coal andvi I
were under guard. On the o hter ed
the natives were not permitted to .
the shin. but they came alog ide-hun
deds d 'm-L their little dupout canoe.,
and looked at us. The canoes are so nare
row that the occupant ca net logwith
out any seat. He or she ts on gubothun
wales at once and weamr the feet in single
ile at the bottom of the boat. They are a
BeSe and warlike people, clad In skins
which they have worn since birth. Mary
loaked eharmine In hers, and caughbt La
klns' memoeptible heart the moment he
saw her.
"I don't know just how they happened
to eatch on, but ppse It was mutual
business at rest it. Neither could
a word that the other could under
but, as Mary was always hungry
and Lakins had sense enough to feed b
their course of true love ran smoth
ensogh for body. By ao means she
oted Lrkln dead-light,. and there she
staid from morning till night.
"A dead-light," explained the cap'n, as
he notioed signs of an explosion in the
lubber's vicinity, "is a window or pot
hole. The side of the ship was two feet
thick, the dead-light on the inside being
about 13 Inches in diameter and a foot or
so on the outside. It was seven feet above
the water line, but that made no differ
ence to the lovers. Mary would moor her
canoe under the dead-lglht and then crawl
up and han on to the c nel-plates and
ring-bolts, lke a bat, with her face at the
opens Larkins would always he found
on the Ise with himself u e head
lt into the end of the Sihs. It
was a damn toughb way to make love but
it was the baest s poor euses could dco.
"iD stiking the top of his head dow n
into the openin Mary could kiss his hair,
but he couldn't ks her. All he could do
was to fondle her face, etc, as she occa
slonally shifted her position to ease her
overtaxed muscles, and look unutterable
thoughts out of his eyes. Sometimms
ILrkins would get amtms of the heart.
Then he would go da into the mes
chest and hand out a cold boiled spud to
Mary. She would reiprocate with a a.
ana or m. a and e would respond
with a panul of coffee grounds or some
soap. She brought o a host load of
stff every morning, and they exchanged
pledges of affection until Larkins .ad
given ay all the grub in the mess. The
sailor. kiked buht t as too late."
"Wblp dn't he marry the girlr ?" asked
"When we got the coal aboard,. con
tinued the captain, paying no attention to
the interruption, "we took the consu
batk to Apia and then set sail for Tahiti.
Larkins had spurned his victuals since
leaving Mary but we thought e would
et over it, tHome of the fellows joked
him about his irl, but he never said a
word. In anding away for Tahiti wer
passed Pao Pago-Marys hone-about
